scribble
--------

`golang-scribble` (Golang package: `scribble`) is a tiny JSON flat file store


### Installation

Install using `go get github.com/nanobox-io/golang-scribble`.


### Usage

```go
// a new scribble driver, providing the directory where it will be writing to,
// and a qualified logger to which it can send any output.
db, err := scribble.New(dir, logger)
if err != nil {
  fmt.Println("Error", err)
}

// Write a fish to the database
fish := Fish{}
if err := db.Write("fish", "onefish", fish); err != nil {

}

// Read all fish from the database
fish := []Fish{}
if err := db.Read("fish", "", fish); err != nil {

}

// Read a fish from the database
fish := Fish{}
if err := db.Read("fish", "onefish", fish); err != nil {

}

// Delete all fish from the database
if err := db.Delete("fish", ""); err != nil {

}

// Delete a fish from the database
if err := db.Delete("fish", "onefish"); err != nil {

}
```
